Chapter XV
A MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE
Anna looked about her admiringly. The half-nude brown bodies
of the crew informed Ah Cum that the schooner had come up from the South
Seas. “And now,”
said Ann Veronica surveying her apartment with an unprecedented sense of
proprietorship, “what is the next step?”
She spent the evening in writing—it was a little difficult—to her father and—
which was easier—to the Widgetts. And, if it had not been for a taste for plotting, which was
continually getting him into scrapes, he might have been accounted a respectable
member of society. Several
people were passed out on the sectional sofa, and muffled
noises emanated from other rooms indicating that the
party’s embers were still smoldering, but John was

She crumpled notes and letter together in her hand, and then with a passionate
gesture flung them into the fire.
